Welcome to Gaia! ::

Daeron grinned. "Earendil and Tinuviel were always so proper ... and while I do commend them for it, a times does come where enough is enough. They're not going to gain Tinuviel's affection or even respect by hounding her."

He sighed. "Maybe it's time for me to return home," he murmured, "at least for a while."

He rubbed at his scar, looking very thoughtful.

Aragost smiled softly at Miyu's soft utterance. "What are you thinking?" he asked her softly. "There is a great deal going on around us, is there not?"

Well.... some people might debate on how proper Earendil was Lin thought recalling some of the coversations he had with him and that Tinuviel had with him. He was polite of course, and nice, but compared to Tinuviel well...

That was another thing all together.

"You should, when was the last time you had been at home?" Lin inquired.

Miyu's eyes lit up, mainly because when she thought of the valley she thought of Ulani and Ulrich, whom of course she knew since she was just as small as Lin had been. She nodded at that, she could handle that.

"I would like that a lot!"

Daeron shrugged. "Earendil is a lost cause. Ever since he met you, all he's talked about is this trip he's going to take with you. Training and travel have been his focus since he was a child. As for Tinuviel ..."

He really didn't know his sister well enough to say. Sure, they had taken one trip together, but they had been children, really, both of them. So he simply shrugged. "If she's like Ada, I can see her being stubborn to the bitter end. Still, she won't marry until she finds the one person she loves with all her being. Either way, it's going to be a long while, and unless one of them has settled down, they're just going to pressure me if I show up."

Still, even he knew that it was no excuse not to visit home, and in the end he could only sigh and nod.

Aragost smiled warmly. "Not today," he murmured, "but soon."

He grew silent once more as he thought about just when they could go.

Daeron snorted. "Even you have to admit that they've had a lot of time to get used to it," he retorted somewhat sourly. "No offense, but I spend little enough time with my parents as it is, I'd rather it not be all nagging. I'll get married when I'm good and ready, and no amount of questioning or prodding will do anyone any good."

He sighed. "Sorry. It's been the same every visit since I first left."

Daeron raised one eyebrow at Lin. "From your own lips, my father is really nice," he mused. "Well. I'll tell you what. I'll visit, and if he can apologize sincerely to me for the way he's been all my life, I'll make a point of spending time there. It might take a bit of convincing though. He really made things rough for Aunt Elnara and Nako."

Not to mention, on the entire family, just by having the attitude he did, and breaking up the family as he had. He still wasn't sure what Luthien thought of all his travels, or how she looked at his father in that regard, but he was certain that it had to have caused some difficulty between them.

Daeron shrugged. "You also haven't known him like I have," was his only reply. "You spend a month with him here and there, a day now and again ... he's been my father for sixty three years. Something to keep in mind."

He wished he could have seen the twins. But between the fact that Lore and Elnara had only been to the Four Lands once since their honeymoon, and the fact that he traveled so much, he couldn't help but wonder if he would ever meet them.

"Anyways, I've said I'll go," he concluded, "so let's just leave it at that, shall we?"

Serenity watched her grandson sadly. She could understand his view ... but it still saddened her.
